The University of New Mexico School of Medicine (UNMSOM) sought to train medical students in public health concepts, knowledge, and skills as a means of improving the health of communities statewide. Faculty members from every UNMSOM department collaborated to create and integrate a public health focus into all years of the medical school curriculum. They identified key competencies and developed new courses that would synchronize students' learning public health subjects with the mainstream medical school content. New courses include: Health Equity: Principles of Public Health; Epidemiology and Biostatistics; Evidence-Based Practice; Community-Based Service Learning; and Ethics in Public Health. Students experiencing the new courses, first in pilot and then final forms, gave high quantitative ratings to all courses. Some students' qualitative comments suggest that the Public Health Certificate has had a profound transformative effect. Instituting the integrated Public Health Certificate at UNMSOM places it among the first medical schools to require all its medical students to complete medical school with public health training. The new UNMSOM Public Health Certificate courses reunite medicine and public health in a unified curriculum.
新墨西哥大学医学院（UNMSOM）试图培训医学生掌握公共卫生概念、知识和技能，以此作为改善全州社区健康的一种手段。来自 UNMSOM 各个系的教师合作，在医学院的所有学年课程中都加入了公共卫生重点。他们确定了关键能力，并开设了新课程，使学生学习公共卫生科目的学习与主流医学院的内容同步。新课程包括：健康公平：公共卫生原则；流行病学和生物统计学；循证实践；基于社区的服务学习；和公共卫生伦理。体验过这些新课程的学生（首先是试点班，然后是最终班）对所有课程的评价都很高。一些学生的定性评价表明，公共卫生证书对他们产生了深远的变革性影响。在 UNMSOM 开设综合公共卫生证书课程使其成为第一批要求所有医学生完成公共卫生培训的医学院校之一。新的 UNMSOM 公共卫生证书课程将医学和公共卫生重新整合到统一的课程中。
